Serves: 24 crackers
 
Crunchy, crisp vegetable thin crackers made with leftover pulp from juicing green juice.
Ingredients
  • 1 cup green juice pulp, packed slightly
  • 120 g or 1 cup arrowroot starch
  • 53 g or ¼ cup coconut oil (mine was a soft solid), plus an extra teaspoon for greasing
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ cup cool filtered water
Instructions
  1. Place a large sheet of foil on the middle baking rack and preheat the oven to 325F/ 160C
  2. Place the pulp in a food processor and process until broken up (remove any clumpy bits like apple peel)
  3. Add in the remaining ingredients except for the water and process until well mixed
  4. With the processor running, add in the water by the tablespoon until a dough forms
  5. Turn a half-sheet pan (46 x 33 x 2.5 cm or 18 x 13 x 1") over and grease the surface evenly and lightly with a pastry brush
  6. Place the dough on the greased surface and cover with a sheet of parchment paper large enough to cover the half-sheet pan
  7. Roll the dough until it is evenly 3 mm or ⅛" thick (uneven thickness will result in chewy parts)
  8. Score the sheet of dough with a knife into squares (I scored mine into 24 crackers)
  9. Place on the foil-lined middle baking rack and bake for 35 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned
  10. Remove from the oven and run a thin spatula between the crackers and the baking sheet to release the sheet of crackers (Note: the oil may run off the half-sheet pan, so remove it carefully without tilting too much! I have an oil-stained recipe notebook now!)
  11. Transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool completely before snapping into individual crackers
Notes
If you are using a centrifugal juicer your pulp may be slightly moister, so you may need less water to form your dough. Adjust accordingly.

Laying a piece of foil on the baking rack prevents any spillage of oil while baking

A long offset or angled frosting spatula works great for separating the sheet of crackers from the surface of the half-sheet pan. You can also use a knife but take care not to scratch your pan!
